Our regular monthly Songwriter Night at the Nevada, Mo V.F.W. will be May 9, 8-11pm. Please sign-up by 7:30 if you can. Or you can e-mail me at divinesongs@gmail.com. Please tell your friends, it'd be great to see more people out to listen to the songs. Since it's in the back room at the VFW you don't have to be 21. Then on Sat. May 10th is the singer/songwsriter night at Capones in ElDorado Springs. Sign-up by 8:30 pm or call 417-876-2211. If you don't know where it is it was the country club on the west edge of town right on 54 highway on the north side. Great place, Great food, and one of the best crowds for listening to lyrics in the area. I always have a good time there and have been treated great. They may just treat me good cause I'm old but I'm ok with that. Great time, try and make em both.

This article was writen By: Andy Martin
To remind the public, members of the music industry and U.S. legislators of the central role and rights of those who conceive and create music, ASCAP (the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) today officially launched a 'Bill of Rights for Songwriters and Composers.' This awareness-building initiative centers around 10 core principles, including "We have the right to be compensated for the use of our creative works, and share in the revenues that they generate" and "We have the right to license our works and control the ways in which they are used." (See full text of the Bill below and at www.ascap.com/rights/billText.aspx) These rights, all of which are already inherent in the act of music creation and protected by U.S. copyright law, are increasingly under threat as competing interests argue over the future of the business of music - and as growing numbers of individuals bypass payment altogether to illegally share music online. "Given the many issues surrounding the music industry today, it can be all too easy to overlook the source of it all - individual songwriters, lyricists and composers," said ASCAP President and Chairman and Academy Award-winning lyricist, Marilyn Bergman. "That is why ASCAP has launched this Bill of Rights for Songwriters and Composers. Our goal is to remind lawmakers, the general public and music creators themselves of the rights that are inherent in their art. We simply cannot allow the original source of all music to be lost in the shuffle."

I wanted to make an addition to this page, as I am a songwriter from the area. I hope this will inspire songwriters that are looking for new ways to get thier music out to the world.
#1. Social Networking As most of you already know Myspace, and other similar social networks are awesome places to post your demos/recordings of your songs. Myspace and Facebook seem to be the most active of them, and right now the average You Tube viewer stays on there for at a min. of 15 minutes, that is amazing for the point and click world where three to ten seconds is the national averageis right now. I can only imagine how long people are staying on Facebook (the college fav) and Myspace (the over-all most popular). What is great about these is you can keep people up to date by bloging, and posting videos of your songs (very easy to do and usually free) as well as passing lyrics, and colecting feedback, all the while meeting industry people very easy through serch engines. Here is a list of the most popular socal networks (most are free to join also) Blogger.com facebook.com lastfm.com multiply.com purevolume.com ruckus.com spaces.live.com youtube.com classmates.com flickr.com ilive.com livejournal.com myspace.com reverbnation.com tagworld.com xanga.com
